I still have nothing to say about the ECC conflict, but I did want to make another attempt at thoughtful and productive dialogue about GCx and where we go from here.

Recently, I was looking up various ways to help encourage my children to be more accountable for their own words and actions in conflict (whether directly or indirectly involved) as we have been dealing with a lot of “…but he said!” and “…but she did!” and I’m about to lose my momma mind. Hopefully someone out there can relate?

I thought I would share these questions as a springboard for maybe a different/more encouraging conversation. Again, these questions have nothing to do with the ECC conflict. Please do not hijack this thread.

1. What was my role in creating this conflict?
2. Does the way I’ve acted during this conflict represent the kind of person I want to be?
3. Are the decisions I’ve made during this conflict in line with the kind of person I want to be?
4. If I saw someone else behave in the way I’ve behaved during this conflict, what would I think?

Ah yes, the squabbling children!  Can you clarify which conflict you are asking us to reflect on?

 Roll Eyes Seriously though... Does it ever stop?!?!?

And I wasn't thinking of any specific conflict in particular. Maybe the questions are less for dialogue and more so for reflection.  Huh

Peace, thank you for a thoughtful and loving post which many of us, myself included, would do well to take to heart.

Your children are fortunate to have such a wise mama.
